Just a thought, but why not make this a scarf swap - then folk can work at their own pace and just has one lot of postage to lay out - gods know its stupid high over here...

BJM can hold the addresses etc.

So folk can pm her with Names & addresses and colour preferences and then she can randomly allocate and folk can just work when they have chance and send when ready and every one gets a lovely scarf..

just a thought as I may be able to find time to participate in a slower paced one off postage thing and it will give me an excuse to learn Filet crochet...

well it won't quite be the travelling scarf, (a number of people knitting/crocheting the same scarf) but it does sound a lot simpler!! I concur I already have a few addresses, so anyone else keen just pm me and I will random allocate who you are knitting/crocheting for. phew good thinking badger!

I think I still don't quite understand how it will work from person to person though? Plus, I may not be very quick if I get it before june as got quite a few exams coming up. If you don't mind me taking a little while (and don't mind garter stitch I think it is!), I would definitely love to do it. May have to ask Pol how to change colours first!

If you don't feel confident to add rows, why not add embellishments, like sew on a flower, or weave in some wool, ribbon etc? It may not add length to the scarves but would add character and your part

If that's alright BJM, it would be quicker, and it would probably end up looking neater! I shall give the knitting a try too, I keep meaning to ask about changing colours when I knit so this gives me a good excuse! Shall I send a pm?

I wanted to take part in this so much but we are moving house in the next few weeks and it needs some work doing so will be busy for quite sometime. Sorry, I am very disappointed but couldn't go ahead then let people down x

ahhthis has gone the way of some of my other grande ideas! I wil sneakily use my address list to post a special suprise to someone, think of it as a random act of woolly kindness and that person may feel the urge to pass along another gift
